touchCalculator

Do the math! Manipulate equations on your android device. In honor of the math teacher S.E. who showed that calculating can be a mechanical thing.

Milestones

  1. Let the user learn calculus using gestures.
  • Solve for x using basic operators on a predefined set of example equations.
  • Show the user how to use the gestures by a tutorial.
  1. Provide an equation/formula management tool.
  • Manually create equations
  • Import equations from Wikipedia.
  • Export equations to Latex. (maybe later other targets)
  • Select favorite equations/formulas.
  • Log each manipulation step by step. Allow the user to keep track of separate calculation cases. (The variable dividing an equation beeing non-zero.)
  1. Offer a scientific tool.
  • Allow the user to create own
  • Destinguish between scalar and vector/matrix variables and operators.
  • Handle physical units.
  • Provide a formula data base descibing all variables of an equation.

Components (Software building blocks)
